Re: Out of memory errors... [1 Attachment]

Hi Rick,

     You can find the archive directory from the archive dialog.  Click 
on the Browse button and it will open a file selector dialog.  Use that 
to see where the files are being saved.

Did you check off the "Delete after archiving" box?

18 M seems like a very large file - so either you need to delete newer 
items (based on the date entered into Ecco) or you have embedded some 
large images or other files into your ecco file.

Check those settings.

Best of luck,
Richard Conway
